Pro V1x will fly higher and achieve peak height farther downrange. This results in greater carry distance, a steeper angle of descent and less roll than Pro V1." "Both the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x feature new high gradient core technology," Mike said.

Only golfers with high swing speeds north of 100mph should play the Pro V1X golf ball, as it will allow them to compress the golf ball better. If you had a slower swing speed and played a Pro V1x, you would likely notice the ball spins far less than necessary.

Fordie Pitts, Titleist's Tour Consultant for Golf Ball R&D, confirmed at the Shriners that Titleist's goal with the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls was to make them “a little bit longer,” by reducing spin on high speed full shots.

Refinements to the 2017 and 2019 versions - Titleist releases a new Pro V1 and Pro V1x on odd years - turned things on their head; now, the Pro V1 feels a little softer, launches a little lower and spins a little less than the Pro V1x.

98-105 mph The #1 ball in golf, the Pro V1 is a three-piece golf ball meant for swing speeds of 98-105 mph.

The Pro V1 is still a mid-flight, mid spin ball while the Pro V1x remains Titleist's highest-launching and -spinning option. Compression ratings haven't changed, either. The Pro V1 is still a high-80s compression ball while the firmer Pro V1x runs in the high 90s.

Where the hinge. And lead wrist are perfect enable him to unleash even more speed players that hinge too early or too late can lose over 4 miles per hour of swing speed.

Tour pros tend to have average golf swing speeds in the 120 mph range or even higher, and long drive competitors are all the way up in the 140s or higher. However, an equally important number is your ball speed. If you have the chance to hit your driver on a launch monitor, ask about your ball speed.

Players who fit into Pro V1x prefer its firm feel (relative to Pro V1) and benefit from its higher flight, higher spin rate, steeper descent angle into the green and the combination of longer carry distance and shorter roll that it typically provides off the tee.

Titleist Pro V1 - Compression On our gauges, the Titleist Pro V1 has a compression of 87. While that's three points softer than we measured the previous version, across the market as a whole, it's still solidly within the firm category (though it is a bit on the softer side for a ball played on Tour).

The Pro V1, for example, is known as a ball with a soft feel despite being a harder ball overall. This part seems strange, but really it comes down to the outside cover of the ball. Most high-end golf balls use a urethane cover, which provides more feel and spin around the greens.
